Ontake Distillery is a Japanese whisky producer located in the heart of the Satsuma Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan. Operational since December 2019, the distillery was established by Nishi Shuzo, a company with deep roots in Japanese craft production dating back to 1845. This rich heritage provides Ontake with a strong foundation in fermentation and distillation traditions, now applied to the art of single malt whisky making.
